Halestorm Tickets - A Storm Is Coming

And it was a big one. One that could knock down houses and skyscrapers with one single breath. Let's go back to the year of 1997 when siblings vocalist and guitarist Elizabeth and drummer Arejay Hale began a band with later lineup members Josh Smith on bass guitar and Joe Hottinger on guitar.
